Why is it called silk when the material is listed as polyester? Is this some kind of conspiracy?

They are supposed to say "silk-weight", as the base of a multi-layer system. Yes, they are polyester blend. They do have a cool silky, yet breathable feel against the skin.

It says 100% cotton in the heading, but the product description (i.e., fine print) reveals that it is 60% polyester or rayon, Absolutely NOT all-cotton

I can now answer this question properly! I googled satin polyester and here is the answer! Satin is not a fabric but a very close weave giving a shiny look and feel! So all satin is polyester or another type of fabric! Google it! There is a lot of info there! Thanks!

It think it's polyester fleece. I returned mine, too bulky and difficult to re-pack

Thania, I think it is polyester but it is a brushed feel to it. It will keep you warm but I live in Texas and we don't have real hard winters here. Sorry I could not be of more help.

Hi there, the 100% silk it told to be better by research and reviews... However, the polyester ones have a much smoother and sleek feel... So, I do not know whether that means it is better for the hair.The 100% silk one is breathable, though! Which may be better for your skin! So, I would get one of each. I do switch here and there.

It seems that they have been inconsistent in their material usage. My label says 100% polyester. Feels like polyester/cotton. Made in China. I ordered mine a few weeks prior to the 2013 holidays.

It is not like linen, more like silk, probably a thin rayon blend. It is fairly formal looking.

I don't know, I never thought of it. Polyester bothers me, and this comforter feels just right. It washes great, I have washed it 6 times in a year and it seems to get better with each wash. That's all I can say. I have two of them. One inside a flannel cover and the other just on top of the sheets.

It's polyester but looks like a heavy linen. The black swirls are almost like velvet appliques. It's just as it appears in the pictures. Some said the white was more like ivory but ours is white.

I believe the polyester is due to the flocked top surface. The actual construction is a thick vinyl.

yes it is polyester. However, they are still extremely soft and comfortable. I was shocked and pleased at the same time.

Looking on the package it says 100% cotton/ silk construction with polyester trim. The tag says polyester fibers.

Its not made of silk. I have a silk one I have only used once. This one is very light weight and comes out of the washer and dryer just fine when you wash it. I love it.

It says it is mercerized cotton, which I googled and found it has a polyester additive. So I actually think its deceptive to call it 100% cotton.

Mfg.'s label says 100% Polyester. This isn't that old time stuff that pills up. This can be worn as a base layer, and is smooth as silk !

I think it's polyester fiberfill. The manufacturer could tell you for sure.
